When
I started reading this book I had no idea what I was in store for. This
book has definitely taught me a lot about being positive and all the
different aspects of being positive.
This book is compromised of 101
short stories that are divided up into 11 different sections. These
sections included The Power of Giving, The Power of Challenging
yourself, ect. Each section had about 8 stories within it that focused
on that area of being positive.
There are so many inspirational stories that I loved in this book that it is so hard for me to find just a few to mention.
One
of my favorites is called "Thanks to CF." This story talked about a
young family whose first child was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when
he was born. At first the family really struggled accepting that their
young son was sick and would need medical treatments his whole life. In
the end they feel blessed that their son has CF because he has become
like a household celebrity to his 6 younger siblings who all think he is
the coolest! They talk about all the many blessings they have seen that
have come about because of his diagnosis. This story really hit me
because I don't think that I would be able to easily find the positives
in such a hard disease. It really made me realize that there is always
something positive in every situation even if we can't see it at the
time.
I honestly could not tell you one negative thing about
this book. I think it is definitely one that everybody should take the
time to read. It really has some great stories that can totally change
your perspective about life. I know that I will now be trying a lot
harder to find the positives in every situation in my life!

Earlier this week, I had a L'Bri Pure 'n Natural Make-up Party. Here's what I looked like with their make-up. Love it! Everything was so soft and light. I especially love their concealer! You can't see any dark circles under my eyes from many nights of little sleep.

Here's some information about their make-up. I love that Aloe is the first ingredient in so many of their items.

They are most known for their skincare which I have grown to love because of all the natural ingredients, the number one ingredient being aloe not water (so you're getting your money's worth), and it feels wonderful. Check out a review I gave last year when I first tried them for the first time. I can't wait for my make-up to arrive! Here's a link to their ingredients for those who are looking for a more natural skin care and make-up company:http://www.jodylyons.lbri.com/consultants/pdfdocs/Ingredients.pdf
